A ‘severe heatwave’ is expected to bring more dangerous conditions across NSW and Queensland in the coming days as firefighters scramble to shore up defences, authorities warned. Dozens of bushfires burned across the states on Sunday including 27 out-of-control blazes in NSW, said NSW Rural Fire Service. NSW Police said in a statement that a 51-year-old man has been charged after allegedly lighting a fire which is now out of control in the state’s Northern Tablelands. At 8am, there are 56 fires burning across NSW, 27 still yet to be contained.
